Description

As you enter the property via the porch at the front you are instantly greeted into the heart of the house. The hallway leads to different areas of the property and retains original features with the wooden block flooring.

Heading left off the hallway is the spacious and bright living room decorated with neutral colours and highlighting the original exposed beams. There are two two-seater sofas and a coffee table which surround the cosy log burner. If you're looking for a spot to enjoy your morning coffee or a good book, them the window seat provides just that with views over the garden and towards the village.

Straight ahead off the hallway is the large utility space and downstairs toilet. Fitted with plenty of storage, a sink and a washer/dryer, it's the ideal place to store any outdoor kit. The stable doors lead to another porch off the rear of the property, fantastic for kicking off muddy boots.

To the right of the hallway is a spacious entertainment/games room with views to the front and the rear of the property. Here you will find a pool table, and original features shining through with the impressive fireplace and the tiled flooring.

Off the games room is the modern kitchen-diner. The kitchen has been newly-fitted with clean, white marble worktops and is equipped with everything you could need for your self-catering holiday in the Lake District. The high-vaulted ceilings add to the feelings of space and the large windows to the rear of the room allow you to take in the beautiful garden and the fells beyond.. The kitchen consists of a fridge/freezer, oven and electric hob, dishwasher, kettle, toaster and even a pod coffee machine. The kitchen also has plenty of storage for your belongings and a breakfast bar. The dining area is an excellent space where six people can comfortably socialise and dine while recounting the days adventures, and planning the next!

The beautiful, enclosed garden wraps around the property and is a sun trap on a beautiful Lakeland day. It’s a peaceful place to sit and enjoy either your morning coffee or a drink in the evening whilst enjoying the blissful sound of the river and fell views beyond. The pretty patio area, with table and chairs, is the perfect place to gather for al fresco dining.

Moving upstairs, the master bedroom is the first door you come to on your left. The modern, neutral decor continues in this room, with the modern rattan furniture and the curved feature wall creating a bohemian feel. The are windows to the front and rear of the property providing stunning views. The room also benefits from a newly-fitted en suite with white marble décor. There is a further two bedrooms, one double and one twin. Both bedrooms have a built-in closet to store your belongings. There is also a family bathroom with a shower over the bath, sink and WC.

To the front of the property is the driveway that comfortably fits two cars.

Visitors can enjoy the convenience of complimentary unlimited full fibre broadband.

Braithwaite is a cosy, close-knit village just outside of Keswick. With a village shop, three local pubs, and plenty of walks right on your doorstep, you won’t even need to leave the village.

If you’re looking to venture out into the Lake District without a car, Braithwaite is serviced by the X4 and X5 bus services, running all the way from Workington to Penrith, linking Braithwaite to local train stations.

Practically Perfect...
This is a top notch cottage in terms of position, so near great walking and good food. Very comfortable, plenty of hot water, warm and cosy, enough comfy seats for everyone! The kitchen is well equipped but if you are going for more than a weekend, I would recommend taking dish washing tabs, washing up liquid etc or pick it up from the village shop which is at the end of the lane. If you're around for Sunday lunch, I can heartily recommend The Coledale Inn, we had a fabulous meal there. I

We had a fantastic stay at this holiday home and couldn’t have asked for more. The location is absolutely beautiful, offering a peaceful setting that really lets you switch off and relax. The property itself was spotlessly clean and incredibly spacious, making it perfect for a comfortable getaway. The facilities were excellent throughout, with fast and reliable wifi and a brilliant kitchen that was a real highlight for us—especially as we were travelling with two chefs who made full use of it to cook some amazing meals. The beds were very comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep, and the games room was a brilliant added bonus that kept everyone entertained. Overall, this is a superb holiday home in a stunning location, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-equipped place to stay.
Well equipped cottage, with fantastic sized master bedroom. Pool table was a great addition.
Delightful cottage by a flowing stream of water. The house was well furnished and the kitchen had all the appliances one may need for a comfortable stay. The garden was of a high standard and most inviting. The surroundings were beautiful with views of the hills surrounding the area from all windows.
